Salmon Patty

Ive got lotsa salmon leftover from the bbq, so I decided to have a go at making Salmon Fish Cakes or also commonly called as Salmon Patty.

Few recipes call for ingredients that I dont have. But Jamie's was very simple and I have all the things needed make them.

So here goes. Original recipe taken from: http://www.jamieoliver.com/us/foundation/jamies-food-revolution/recipes/SALMON_FISH_CAKES

Didnt actually follow the recipe to boot, kinda lazy to measure things up, so I just whip up whatever feels right.

Here's what I use:
It was probably about two slices of Salmon (not too sure since it was leftovers and already in broken pieces)
One potato (russet)
Two eggs
Lime juice (from quarter lemon)
a handful of english and italian parsley (more of english ones as I had plenty of those)
flour (in the mix, probably about one table spoon, for dusting I used more until it firmed up).


Method:
I first mashed the potato, salmon and parsley together

Then added the eggs (beaten)

Then the lemon

Added flour to firm it up, salt and pepper to season it, and scoop up in a ladle to make patty

Have not fried them yet so I dont know whats the end result's gonna be like. Will add pictures and comments on the taste.

Update: happy to report that it tastes quite good :)

Grilled Salmon with alfredo pasta

  

This is my first time trying alfredo pasta. Wasnt very successful, the sauce came out a bit curdled, maybe next time i should add a bit of water and simmer less.

The recipe was from:

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/alfredo-sauce-2/?scale=2&ismetric=1

Ingredients:

+ butter

+ cream

+ parmesan cheese

+ parsley

+ crushed garlic

And  I added  a bit of salt and pepper as well.

Initially I wanted to cook the salmon as part of the alfredo, but changed my mind in case it doesnt turn out well. It was a good call, because Mr Fluff was making faces at my alfredo when he realised that there was cheese in it.

He said it was quite nice, but I dont think he enjoyed it very much. I guess this one is not going to be a repeat - since I am not exactly a fan of Alfredo either.
